Because of the high level of protection RipGuard-MOD provides, not all Authoring programs create DVDs that are 'compliant' enough to be protected.

Every Authoring program is different, and Macrovision RipGuard adhers very closely to the DVD Forum specifications for quality control, but unfortunately not every Authoring application follows those strict guidelines, which can produce a disc that may play, but isn't quite 'compliant' enough to the standards to be protected.
